The girl next door is rideless! Kendra Wilkinson was playin' on the links at a West L.A. golf course last Friday, when someone stole her pimped-out Escalade!
Kendra's wheels were eventually found a few days later in South Central L.A., but we're hearing when she went to a recovery yard to retrieve it, her custom rims and sound system were gone. Jack move!
Our spies tell us that the Playboy cover girl then decided to ditch that rimless SUV -- that had been featured in DUB magazine -- with the cops, opting to just buy a brand new whip. Thanks, Hef!

TMZ has finally uncovered the connection between the HGTV show "Design on a Dime" and hardcore pornography -- a host who really enjoys interiors.
While the network continues to regularly air episodes featuring former host Lee Snijders, we've learned the guy who helped homeowners for more than six years is still giving advice to couples -- but purely of the girl-on-girl variety nowadays.
Snijders used the cash he raked in from "DoaD" and his stint as a Disney Imagineer to start his own porn company with porn star girlfriend Jett Angel. You can even catch Lee in several of the reality-style skin flicks manning the camera (or so we've heard).
Calls to HGTV were not returned.

An anorexic guy -- yes, you heard correctly -- says Rachael Ray's show spit him out because he blew the whistle on their skinny-hating ways.
Admitted anorexic Aaron Ferguson just filed suit in Manhattan, alleging that his boss -- the "Rachael" accountant -- slammed the show's executive-in-charge, Priscilla Taussig, as "too skinny to do her job," demeaned anorexics as "sick in the head," and even commented, "Did you see Priscilla today ... all you can see are her sickly bones."
Ferguson says when he went to HR to complain, they digested his complaints -- and then his boss promptly made his life "so miserable" that he had to bail. He claims he was offered $4K to sign a separation waiver.
Aaron wants $1.5 mil in damages. Rachael herself is not named in the suit. Rachael's peeps didn't immediately return a call for comment.

Comic book geeks -- you're gonna love this!
TMZ stumbled upon George Barris out in Hollywood last night. Barris is the guy who created the original Batmobile, as well the cars from "The Munsters," "The Green Hornet" and "The Beverly Hillbillies."
It's understandable how a Batman fan could be in awe of Mr. Barris -- though that doesn't explain why our photog told the cheesiest kids joke we've heard: "What does Batman do when he goes to the bathroom?"

Where in the world is Matt Lauer's new swimsuit?!
While in the Bahamas this weekend, the 50-year-old proved he's still got abs -- and two-year-old board shorts.
Although he still looks pretty good, it's clear Matt hasn't been hitting the gym -- or the mall -- as much as he should.

Wilbuuuur, what has the world come to? The estate of the widow of the creator of "Mr. Ed" has filed a lawsuit, claiming when it comes to paying up, MGM is full of horse manure.
The estate of Dorothy Brooks claims Dorothy's hubby Walter created a short story about a talking horse back in 1959 -- and that was turned into the hit TV show that ran from 1961 through 1966.
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the estate claims MGM has released two DVD collections, featuring "Best of Mr. Ed" and owes at least $378,396 in royalties.
TMZ went right to the source to ask the horse ... but he was glued to the TV set.
